Well to figure out how I got that score is also a mystery. I dont even know how I did. I think it adds every kill or whatever for that whole day? If that is the case then I guess its all skill

Anyway, Battle Hardened, this is what the strength index is, at least according to BzFlag.org help


What is the Strength Index?

The Strength Index is a rough measurement of a player's skill which basically means, if a player has a higher Strength Index than you have, that means they are better than you. :-P The exact formula for the Strength Index is:

($score / $wins) * abs($score / 2)

my high score just changed! its now 160! yay! that prolly changed my strength indexes, but whatever.

so if i have the lowest "Low Strength Index " of all these players here, what does that mean?

Your the worst player here

the stats are messed, someone else played with my call some time (i didn't even know them!) and made a horrendisly low score, also theres ctf and attitude so you cant really see whose better.

Perhaps the player stats should only keep history for registered players (i.e., display stats for all current players, but discard stats for non-registered players once they leave the game).

This would avoid the stats being cluttered by scores from bots. And on the subject of bots, perhaps stats shouldn't be kept if there are bots in the game.

Sillly question probably, but what stats are these you're talking about? Where do you get them?

Ooo, I didn't know we were all being watched! I'll have to change my callsign when I'm not playing "for real" now

I agree there's not much use to those stats though if it allows bot kills to count, and someone who nicks your callsign. I recognise at least one player on the high list who played a lot on tadd's GM map which had lots of bots as a feature, so scores were always high.

First off I dont know how to make bots. except for making a whole bunch of clients and put them on auto but my computer is to slow to do that. I thought I wasnt that good but holy crap I have the best stats here!!!!!!!

Sometimes it's just a matter of playing long enough to get a higher score.

High Score 475
Low Score -536*
High Strength Index 91.5497
Low Strength Index -241.564
High Kill Ratio 1
Low Kill Ratio -5
Most Wins 1242
Most Losses 1179

* I leave an autopilot going sometimes - they are so stupid!

Hmm, stats didn't record my high score.....if it did I would have wooped you all with 709. I think I finished with a ratio of 7-1.

Temporal I can understand why your score is about 20 more points higher than mine I seem to have a tuff time trying to kill you. Then when I do you come out of nowhere and kill me.

I have my days, on some I'll run away with the points and everyone will fear me, but other days i get slaughtered

update:

High Score 253
Low Score -29
High Strength Index 53.2911
Low Strength Index -24.5
High Kill Ratio 1
Low Kill Ratio -7
Most Wins 605

This makes me happy, i've made much improvement.

How did you improve that much in a few days? What server?
